Wonderful performance circa 1998 featuring Alison Krauss on second vocal, Sam Bush on Mandolin and Mike Auldridge on dobro.
This song is in honor of my wife. She's the prettiest girl that I ever knew and still is.

Darius Rucker - Don't Think I Don't Think About It
Darius Rucker, lead singer of Hootie and the Blowfish, performs his #1 hit and debut country single "Don't Think I Don't Think About It" from his new album "Learn To Live" on the Grand Ole Opry and GAC's Opry Live.
I saw Darius live Jan 2009 when he opened for Brad Paisley. He is a great singer and loves the fans. I predict country stardom for him.

San Antonio Stroll - Tanya Tucker (Original 1975 Version)
They just don't make 'em like this anymore!
Tanya Tucker
"San Antonio Stroll"
Released: 1975
Album: Tanya Tucker
Lyrics:
When I was a child down in South Caroline
Soon as Saturday sun went on down.
My folks and sister would go and leave me home all alone,
Going to that big square dance in town.
Well my old radio would play that old opry show,
So I never got lonesome or blue.
I'd fall asleep in my chair and dream that I was right there,
Just singing the whole night through.
When my folks would come home, they'd be humming a song,
Mama'd smile and say: "Child, don't you know,
"There ain't a thing in this world to make you fall in love girl,
"Like the San Antonio Stroll?"
Well the day finally come when my mama said: "Hun,
"It's 'bout time you came with us as well."
Well, I had me a time, yes, I danced all the night,
'Til they rang that ol' cracked-midnight bell.
Then the lights went down low, the fiddler picked up his bow,
And he played something stately and slow.
And my sister Eileen and her husband-to-be,
They held hands and began to stroll.
I've been away for a while, but it still brings a smile,
When I think of the way that it goes.
Now I'll sing it to you just so we both can do,
That old San Antonio Stroll.
Yes, I'll sing it to you just so we all can do,
That old San Antonio Stroll.

Ronnie Milsap - Lost In The Fifties Tonight
1986 Classic
This song brings back mighty fine memories of the 50's. When cars were cars and it cost $5.00 to fill up your car. The music of that time was wonderful and NO RAP MUSIC! Can you remember back that far? If you can, you were born in a better more kinder time. Bless you Ronnie Milsap!

Skeeter Davis - He'll Have To Stay
What an obscure song. Skeeter was the queen of answer songs. This one to Jim Reeve's "He'll Have to Go".
Year: 1961 Album: Here's the Answer
Skeeter Davis with the answer song to Jim Reeves "He'll Have To Go".
Lyric:
I am glad you've finally called me on the phone
I've been waiting here tonight but not alone
You broke the date that we had made just yesterday
Now there's someone else who's here, he'll have to stay
I have found another love I know is true
And he holds me much more tenderly than you
Loving you's not worth the price I have to pay
Someone else is in your place, he'll have to stay
Once I loved you with all my heart
But now I must say no
You broke my heart too many times
So now you'll have to go
I can hear the jukebox playing soft and low
And you're out again with someone else, I know
My love was blind, i'm not your kind that's all I'll say
So you can hang up, I'm in his arms, he'll have to stay...

Skeeter Davis - My Last Date (With You)
Year: 1961 Album: Here's The Answer
Skeeter Davis with her answer song to Floyd Cramers 'Last Date'. Reached #5 on the Country charts and #26 on the Pop charts. Her 2nd big crossover success.
Lyrics:
One hour and I'll be meeting you
I know you're gonna make me blue
My heart is trembling through and through
Cause I know very well I can tell I can tell
This will be my last date with you
Just can't believe that this could end
I know I'll never love again
You'll ask me to be just a friend
It's as plain as can be I can see I can see
This will be my last date with you
[ strings ]
I know we had a quarrel but all sweethearts do
I gave my love to prove to you
That I will always love you and be true
I know you've met somebody new
You tell me you and I are through
My plans and dreams cannot come true
And when you say goodbye I know I will cry
Cause I'll know it's my last date with you...

Skeeter Davis - (I Can't Help You) I'm Falling Too
Live performance of Skeeter Davis at the Opry in 1962. Singing her big crossover hit and answer song "I Can't Help You I'm Falling Too" (answers "Please Help Me I'm Falling" by Hank Locklin) of which i posted the album version earlier. Now you can see her live!
for those who wanna sing along,
Lyric:
You say that you're falling
But what can I do?
You want me to help you
But I'm fallin' too
I know that we're wrong, dear
But when I'm with you
I can't help you, darlin'
'Cause I'm fallin' too
You belong to another
Who's arms have grown cold
But you must keep the vows, dear
Although they've grown old
You can never be free, dear
Though our love is true
I can't help you, darlin'
'Cause I'm fallin' too
We could never be happy
Living in sin
Our love's a temptation
But we just can't win
You ask me to help you
But what can I do?
I can't help you, darlin'
'Cause I'm fallin' too
